Capcom Releases Full Details for 2018 Pro Tour

Earlier this month, Capcom confirmed that its fighting game pro circuit, the Capcom Pro Tour would be returning for another season in 2018, teasing that full details would be revealed at a later date. The developer has now published an article on the official CPT website detailing all rule changes, and unveiling the full year’s schedule of qualifying events.

The 2018 season will feature a $600,000 prize pool, the same amount as in 2017.

The Capcom Pro Tour is a year-long circuit where players compete to earn one of 32 spots at the championship tournament: the Capcom Cup. The 2018 season will feature a $600,000 prize pool, the same amount as in 2017. Players will need to earn CPT points by placing well at qualifying tournaments, the first of which is Final Round, a tournament held in Atlanta, Georgia.

This year a greater emphasis will be placed on winning premier tournaments, encouraging top competitors to travel all over the world to win as many events as possible. Players unable to travel outside their region will still have an opportunity to win their Regional Finals and earn an automatic qualification to the Capcom Cup.

The Capcom Pro Tour will again feature a single game, Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Capcom has not released any plans to support the competitive scene for Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, the developer’s other esports title. This is the second major blow to the Marvel community this month, following news that MvC:I would not be a featured game at the Evolution Championship Series for the first time in nearly two decades.
